I'm at work, & don't have my books here... does the 257 Roberts & 35 Remington have the same rim diameter ??? the 35 Remington cases function perfectly in the mag & through the chamber & extractor, when I fire formed the shoulders of the resized cases

.35 Remington cases can be reformed into 6.5jap if you run them through a .308 die and then into a 6.5jap die. The rim diameter is slightly smaller than the 6.5 and the cases will be a little bit short after reforming. A lot of 6.5 Arisakas were rechambered to .257 roberts after the war because of the scarcity of 6.5jap ammo so its possible that your rifle has been rechambered to that caliber.
